Background and approach
That means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears and offers practical ways to try new approaches between meetings. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and flexible action, and from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours connect.
These approaches are used to address symptoms like anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits in concrete ways. Katie has three years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity and to create a space where people can try things out without pressure.
Sessions can be conversational or goal-focused depending on the person’s needs. Katie can support people working through past hurt, navigating life changes, managing addictive behaviours or improving self-worth. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress as work continues.

How Katie's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead so people feel understood and can access their own resources. This approach suits those who want a supportive, non-directive space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie discusses options with each person and adapts methods to match goals, preferences and what feels manageable. She aims to be collaborative so the plan changes if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel, while letting people choose how they prefer to communicate.
